Chapter 2323 Are you trying to come back from the dead?
When Meng Yunzheng arrived at the shopkeeper's house, he indeed found a set of night clothes.
He placed his night clothes aside and waited at home. Around midnight, a faint sound came from the courtyard.
When Meng Yunzheng went outside, he saw a stone on the ground with a note tied to it.
He looked up at the courtyard wall; the stone must have been thrown in just now.
Sure enough, there was an address on the note. Meng Yunzheng went back to his room, changed into his night clothes, checked the direction with the map, and then quietly left the courtyard.
There were soldiers patrolling the road, and Meng Yunzheng carefully avoided their route. Before long, he arrived at a courtyard in the west of the city.
The courtyard was desolate and eerie. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be a mortuary, a place where coffins were temporarily stored.
This is a place that even normal people, let alone patrolling officials, would not want to come to.
Meng Yunzheng climbed over the outer wall, crossed the courtyard, and entered the main room.
The main room was pitch black, and there were more than thirty coffins in the large space. Most of them were empty, with the coffin lids on the ground, but a few were covered.
As soon as Meng Yunzheng stepped in, the paper money on the ground began to rustle.
The moonlight streamed in from outside, and faced with so many coffins, a timid person would probably have turned pale with fright long ago.
Meng Yunzheng remained calm. He took a few steps inside and then stopped, crossing his arms and waiting for Qi Lie to emerge from somewhere.
Just as he looked behind another door, a slight noise suddenly came from one of the coffins, and then a person suddenly sat up from inside the coffin.
Meng Yunzheng, "..."
Are you trying to come back from the dead?
The person in the coffin climbed out, let out a long breath, and then said, "You were scared, weren't you?"
Meng Yunzheng chuckled twice, "Your entrance is truly unique."
Lying in a coffin, how could you even think of that?
He was only brave because he was bold; otherwise, he would have been scared to death before he even made contact.
Qi Lie chuckled twice and patted the dust off his clothes. "Didn't even you think of that? If you couldn't think of it, those people definitely couldn't either."
He led Meng Yunzheng into a small hut next door and casually sat down on the floor. "Come on, tell me what's going on. Weren't you supposed to sneak in secretly? Why are you coming to the Southwest so openly?"
Meng Yunzheng hesitated for a moment, then found a stool and sat down.
The two didn't have much time, so they didn't exchange pleasantries. Meng Yunzheng then explained why he had come.
The latter frowned upon hearing this, "So, Shu Feng from the Shu family is going to repeat the mistakes of the Shu family?"
“Not only him, but a group of people are gathering in Zhengdao Village. I have a list here. If you have anyone on hand, have them check on them. There’s another person who’s very suspicious. He’s a twelve-year-old boy. Shu Feng’s group has been taking good care of him. Focus on investigating him.”
Qi Lie nodded solemnly, "I understand."
“There’s one more thing.” Meng Yunzheng told us about the letter. “Now Ayu and I both suspect that some of those girls are from the black market. That letter was deliberately delivered to us. Your coming to the Southwest should have been within their expectations.”
Qi Lie stroked his chin. "No wonder. I was wondering why I felt like I was being watched after I arrived. Luckily, I was alert and hid under different identities in different places. Otherwise, I would have been finished before the black market even investigated."
Where is the black market located?
